Analyzing the British Judicial System: Ensuring Rights of the Accused During Investigation

Abstract

This paper investigates the historical development of the British judicial system and its compatibility with the safeguards provided to the accused under the European Convention on Human Rights (ECHR). This study emphasizes the critical milestones and reforms that have influenced contemporary British jurisprudence by tracing the evolution of legal principles and institutions from medieval England to the modern era. Special emphasis is placed on the procedural safeguards and rights that are enshrined in the ECHR, with a focus on their implementation and impact within the British legal context. The paper illustrates how the British judicial system has evolved to maintain the principles of human dignity, equity, and due process by conducting a comprehensive examination of landmark cases and legislative changes. This research offers a valuable perspective on the relationship between international human rights standards and national legal frameworks, emphasizing the United Kingdom's ongoing dedication to the rule of law and justice.
